Our favorite tea shop in the world! My girlfriend is from Colmar, but we live in the US. We go to…read moreColmar around twice per year, and each time we make our way to L'Essence Du Thé and stock up on tea for the next 6 months! We haven't found any other tea store (even in New York) with such an interesting selection of teas and such friendly, knowledgable staff. Try their herbal mixes. Also, it's a great place to order a cup of tea, sit back, and relax.

But a very good place to sit and people watch, with a glass of Alsace wine or coffee. Prices were reasonable compared to the other touristy restaurants. Service is slow but considering how much staff they have compared to customers, it is understandable.

Sadly, the quality of the 'dark brew' ain't what it could be (read: extremely bitter espresso drinks) and that's a shame given how centrally located and charmingly laid out this place is. I'm a sucker for coffee sack-lined walls, funky old light fixtures and solid wood 'steh cafe' tables. To complete a place, however, one needs great product. That's where, at least java-wise, this place falls short of the mark. Props to the young gal who served us. She was so very nice. I'd like to pay for her to go to barista training school. Having said that, it could be a case of not having the best machines to work with, or, at the very least, not having them in the best working order.

Peering inside its dark interiors and modern pastry case, a lone Frenchman espresso drinking connoisseur quickly took his sip and was already on his way out as we entered in. Boulangerie Coté-Four was not traditional, but it was pretty and appealing to me. We shared an èclair au praliné noisette, croissant aux amandes, and pain au chocolat - all three of them perfect, fresh, delicious, and everlasting. Boulangeriie Coté-Four, you certainly have my approval for your oh so delicious sweets x
